June is a photographer, poet, blogger and writer who lived in Far North Queensland for eight years, including during and after cyclone Yasi. She contributed to ABC Open's Aftermath project as a guest blogger and in the process learnt a lot more about video documentary and being a writer in and for community. Her family have since moved to the city, but will aways retain a love and passion for the Cassowary Coast and for the wonderful work of ABC Open.

The story of my Dad becoming lost in the bush, on the way to see his true love, became a passed down village story that one day reached the ears of an anthropologist. This made me want to ask them both their version of the story.
